SPA® natural mineral water, pure from the source
Deep in the Fens, a protected nature reserve of more than 13,000 hectares, the journey of SPA® water begins. Year after year, rainwater and meltwater seep through mineral rock layers that act as a natural filter. The result? Water with exceptional, original purity.
Why is SPA® so pure?
Naturally filtered
Every drop of SPA® water travels for years underground and is purified in a completely natural way, without any human intervention.
Water from rain and snow percolates through the different geological layers.
The subsoil of the Fens, shaped by millions of years of geological evolution, is a remarkable natural filter.
This result gives SPA® waters exceptional purity and a low mineral content.
Low in minerals, with a unique and stable composition
Thanks to its long underground journey through the low‑mineral rocks of the Spa Fens, SPA® Reine has an exceptionally low mineral content. The dry residue amounts to only 38 mg/l, making it one of the lowest‑mineralised waters in Europe.

Untreated & protected
SPA® natural mineral water is bottled directly at the source, without chemical or microbiological treatments. Its natural composition therefore remains stable and unique.
How does SPA® natural mineral water differ from tap water, spring water, and water from large bottles/dispensers?
SPA® natural mineral water, purity at its origin
- Springs from an underground source in a nature reserve that has been intensively protected for more than 125 years.
- Has a stable mineral composition.
- Is bottled directly at the source to preserve its pure origin.
- May not be chemically or microbiologically treated.
This makes SPA® natural mineral water unique: water as nature intended it.
Spring water, naturally drinkable
Tap water, safe and strictly controlled
Water in large bottles / water dispensers, for example in office settings
- Spring water also originates from groundwater and is naturally drinkable at the source.
- It meets the same standards as water intended for human consumption.
- Its mineral composition can vary depending on the specific source.
Spring water is pure and natural but lacks the unique stability of a natural mineral water like SPA®.
- Tap water may come from surface water or groundwater.
- It undergoes chemical and microbiological treatments, including disinfection and often the addition of chlorine to keep it safe along the way.
- Its composition varies by region and season.
Tap water is reliable and strictly controlled, but it lacks the natural purity of natural mineral waters such as those from SPA®.
- This water is pumped locally from deep, protected aquifers.
- It then undergoes an intensive purification process, such as reverse osmosis.
- The purified water is later enriched with a unique mineral blend.
- The entire process, from source to bottle, is under continuous NSF certification, a globally recognised label guaranteeing compliance with strict public health, safety, and quality standards.
Water in large bottles differs fundamentally in process from natural mineral waters like those of SPA®, which may not be treated.

FAQ: SPA® Reine natural mineral water
What makes SPA® natural mineral water so pure?
SPA® water owes its exceptional purity to its natural origin. It comes from the Fens, a protected reserve, and slowly infiltrates over several years through layers of rock that act as a natural filter. This process takes place without any human intervention, ensuring water that is pure at the source.
Is SPA® water treated before being bottled?
No. SPA® natural mineral water is bottled directly at the source, without any chemical or microbiological treatment. Its composition therefore remains intact, stable, and true to its natural origin.
What is the difference between SPA® natural mineral water and tap water?
Tap water is perfectly safe and strictly controlled, but it undergoes treatments (such as chlorination), and its composition may vary depending on regions and seasons.
SPA® water, on the other hand, is not treated and has a naturally stable mineral composition, which gives it consistent purity.
How is SPA® natural mineral water different from spring water?
Spring water is also natural and drinkable at the source, but its mineral composition may vary.
SPA® natural mineral water, however, stands out for its composition, which is stable over time, and its very low mineral content, resulting from its long underground journey.
What is the difference between SPA® water and bottled water for water dispensers?
Water in large bottles (for dispensers) is generally pumped and then intensively purified (for example, by reverse osmosis) before being remineralized.
SPA® water, by contrast, is naturally pure and undergoes no treatment. It retains all its original properties, just as nature preserved them.
